In the course of half an hour, the autocrat of CHIT Edge had both elbow s on Ills desk and his broad chin, usually quite equal to the task of earing for Itself, was supported by two hand*. Ills face was so unlike ttsusual self that the bey was astonished, though not so greatly as when a moment afterward 8u Ingloton sail: ' What were you going to show me In your school history?" "Why, ‘twas the Declaration, sir, an' the Farew ell Address, an'—" "All right go and fetch the book.” Aw ay went little Dennis, rctomljig soon with the book open in two places, a couple of dirty fingers serving as book-mark*.

If yon want to, or whistle it" So sudden and great acquisition of liberty was more than the boy oould comprehend in an Instant, so h ■ went outside and turned two handsprings to assist him. As for John Swiugleton, he slowly read and reread the two old writings which long before he bad committed to the oblivion of hla mental rubbish boats Then he looked Intently for some moments at the shabby woodcut which Dennis' father regarded re grand. Next morning the Impecunious Trucgate, who still waa In dafault of interest and prlnc pal, was terribly frightened by receiving a gall from hla creditor In person, bnt amaaement replaced hla dread when he learned that the visit waa made t > him, not In hla character of debtor, but aa a member of the Commlttos of Arrangements for the celebration of the Fourth. Kwlngleton asked many questions, waived the Intimation that i>erhape he ought to have been oonsulted earlier, and finally be completely astounded Trnegate by aslffng. with aa affectation of modesty quite unusual to him, aa the founder of the village, to have a place on the programme so that he might say a few words Then he Inquired whether any preparation had been made to regale the more material part of the Inner man and tgr fire-works and he again startled the committeeman out of his small remnant of composure by offering to provide, entirely at hla own expense a grand breakfast on the green, to be eaten Immediately after the ceremonies, and to give a display of fireworks lu the evening. “Mercy!” said Trnegate, while reporting the interview to hla wife, "he knocked me clean daft by saying he'd give' me aa much additional time aa 1 wight need to catch up an the mortgage -said nobody's mind should bo troubled on tho Fourth, if he could help It Wtat do you supfote |w got W mi”

"IteUglon, may be," suggested Mr*. True gate "I don't know what alee could make a man ot hi* kind earn any thing tor the Fourth ol July, or any thing else but hi* property and money."1 Truegate’s amazement waa qmetly hat quickly distributed among the villageis, and augmented almost daily In the week that preceded the Fourth. One day the Tillage!* were excited by the arriral of the caterer, who came from the city twenty miles away, to prepare the promised breakfast; then an unused brick atore ‘from which a tenant had recently been ejected) became the receptacle of many fire-works, some of which were distinguishable to the native eye, while others were strange and fearful combinations of framework and fuse. But strangest and most exciting of alt was tile Information, which had Ha source In the humble home ot little Dennis, that Swingleton had paid the boy a quarter to write out for him in full a copy of the song which the boy had labored so bard to memorize, and that he had learned, evidently by listening to his office boy, to whistle and hum the music. ••He don't catch on to It quite right yet,” Dennis explained to Ills parent, “but I reckon It's cause his pipers rusty; I ain't never heerd him whistle and sing before in ail the time I've been with him.” The Nation's birthday anniversary dawned at last Thanks to free Are-crack-ers distributed the day before among the small boys, every denizen of the village j was awake In time to be present at the patriotic ceremonies. There a new surprise awaited them, for In front of the little platform near the flagstaff was grouped a brass band, wh eh Swingle ion had In some way got out from the city. After the pro- | cession of school children arrived the flag j was hoisted In military fashion by a sedate j villager who had been a soldier. As it j reached the top and waa "broke free" j from the halyards the band played the • Star Spangled Banner,’’ followed by alt j the other National atra John Swingleton suddenly nibbed the lower part of his forehead as if he had forgotten something; he did It for two or three minutes, the greater j part of his band covering his eyea Then came.a prayer, followed by the Declaration of Independence, read by the village schoolmaster. Swingleton looked, while he listened, as if he feared a word might get lost somehow, but the Instant the last word of the grand finale dropped from the reader's Ups Swingleton added to tho programme by shouting: "Three cheers for the Declaration!" Tlte audience, although surprised, responded handsomely. Then all the chorus of children stood up on the platform from which the Declaration had been read; little Dennis, in his Sunday elotbea, edged his way to the rail and looked anxiously about as if he were responsible for more thau hi* own share of the cotniug jierformance. Ife finally beckoned to bis employer, and when Swingleton approached the platform tho little fellow leaned forward and whispered loudly enough for every one to hear: "Rape close to me, Mr. Sw ingleton, an’ I'll help you along wfd the music." Every body laughed—no one could beta It, and for the ttrst time In their lives thdg saw the founder of the village disconcerted; never! ljeles*' llttl- Dennis! injunction was obeyed, and the great man faced alljiis tenants and debtors and joined the <9lll- / / / /*/- T

Then there was a buxx of expectancy, a stir on the platform; the master of ceremonies came forward followed by Mwingleton. and said: "ladles and gentlemen, our distinguished fellow-townsman, John Swlngleton, Esquire, will now favor us with an address.'’ The chairman fell Iraok. Swlngleton catne to the front, nnd little Dennis, pushing through the crowd, leaned an elbow on the rail, put his chin in hts hand and o{>ened hts mouth and eyes very wide, eo that nothing should escape him * "My friends.” said Swlngleton. “what I have to say 1* too little and too simple to deserve the name of an address.

I'm the right man to do it. for I'm the moat guiilty in that regard Our great National holiday has for years Iwen to me nothing but a day in which business was suspended and 1 could lake a day of rest or for special work.

The worst enemies a land ever had were those it reared at home, and we have been rearing hundreds of thousands of that kind I. for one, am going to reform, and beg ail of yon to Join with me In making this anniversary day, and all that follow It, full ot warm feeling and earnest resolve Let u* constantly bear in mind Washington's words, ‘Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty;’ they mean a hundred times as much now as when they were first spoken, for tricksters and thieves are a hundred times harder to watch than open foeuion with guns and swords. That is all I wanted to aay." The hreakrast waa eo successful that there was very little appetite for dinner in the town that day. The giver of the feast, however, had very little opportunity to personally partake of It, for he was continually Interrupted by congratulations on hts speech, and on what one- good old preacher termed hie change of heart. lie accepted it all pleasantly; indeed, he was as cheerful and hearty as new converts generally are, and seemed to need only night and fireworks to fill his cup of Joy. Darkness waa long in coming, but when it did arrive tbe villager* admitted that it was worth having waited for; certainly such a quantity of fireworks had never been seen before, even by those who had lived In the neighboring city. Swlngleton lighted them all himself, except when some small boy begged the privilege; the solid man seemed to enjoy a soaring rocket or a whirling pinwheel as keenly as any child on the ground Bat besides these familiar pyrotechnics there were “eel pieoes" -stars, anchors. American eagles, a portrait of Washington, etc. The last of these waa the “Red, White and Blue"—an an- nous reproduction, in colored fire, of our National dag. It cost fifty dollars, and biased only two minutes by the watch, hut Swlngleton •aid he never In hia life had got more satisfaction out of a fifty-dollar bill. And as the crowd slowly dispersed and Swlngleton - strolled to the outside of the throng to find his own family, little Dennis, who reverently followed behind, heard the great man s voice rumbling and growling and squeaking, in bite attempts at turn): *• Hurrair;fOrthCj morning of morn tar* baa Talari ey’ery banner and beat every drum." -John Habbertoa, to Sfc Uouia Glo^-Dero-Wfti ' “ V
